- Code the entire set of all questions and answers that have existed, do
- exist, or ever will exist in this universe. This requires future knowledge,
- but nevertheless, the set is finite, so the table is finite.

- If you don't like the idea of dealing with the Universe: code the entire
- spacetime region causally connected with you during your limited lifetime
- (about 100 years). This is finite, since spacetime is not infinitely
- divisible. But it encapsulates everything that was, is, or ever will be
- seen or heard by you.
